The premium small car manufacturer - MINI - can call 2012 as an eventful year with new sales records, successful model launches and expansion into new markets.
In a bid to expand its lineup, MINI has created the 'ultimate drop-top machine' - a combination of go-kart driving experience with access to the skies.
Mini Asia launched the roadster - a convertible packed with powerful engines, sophisticated chassis, providing a true-blue go-kart driving experience.
MINI will offer four engine choices for the new Cooper Roadster, including a diesel variant called the Cooper SD Roadster.
